A large number of biologically active substances, organic acids, tannins, and pectin substances were detected during the study of fruits, leaves, and pulp of the fruits of mountain Ash. The content of these substances in leaves and pulp will significantly expand the arsenal of medicinal plant raw materials used. Given the wide distribution of mountain Ash in the territory of the Russian Federation, harvesting leaves from the same plants after harvesting the fruit and using pulp will make it possible to obtain new phytopreparations.

Prevention and therapy of gastrointestinal tract diseases should take into account as minimal as possible intervention physiological processes which take place in digestive system. Digestive disorders, which are often caused by synthetic drugs, can generate more complicated diseases. Herbs should be a preventive or complementary way of action. They can also play the main role in therapy of less complicated diseases. Natural products are used in therapy of gastrointestinal tract diseases because they have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, coating, digestion improving and relaxative properties. They are helpful in gastro-oesophageal reflux, dyspepsia, gastritis and ulcers. Natural products, especially plant raw materials, used in the therapy of digestive system diseases, according to their leading activity, can be divided into the following groups: anti-inflammatory and protective, facilitating digestion, sedative and antimicrobial. It should be emphasized that plant raw materials act in multidirectional way and therefore not always may be classified strictly within such groups of curing activity.

Abstract The ever-increasing environmental pollution from greenhouse gases motivates the search for methods to reduce it. One such method is the use of biodiesel fuels in the transport sector. Conventional biodiesel production generates up to 10% of a by-product, raw glycerol, whose amount continues to increase as biodiesel production volumes expand, but its demand remains limited. Recently, options have been analysed to replace the triglyceride transesterification process generally used in biodiesel production with an interesterification process that does not generate raw glycerol, instead yielding triacylglycerol that can be directly used as fuel for diesel engines by mixing with fatty acid esters. Additionally, triacylglycerol improves the low-temperature properties of fuel. The present article discusses triglyceride interesterification processes using various carboxylate esters of low molecular weight. Information is provided on raw materials that can be subjected to interesterification for biodiesel synthesis. The possible applications of chemical and enzymatic catalysis for triglyceride interesterification are discussed, and the influence of the catalyst amount, molar ratio of reactants, temperature and process duration on the effectiveness of interesterification is examined. The conditions and effectiveness of noncatalytic interesterification are also discussed in the article. Qualitative indicators of the products obtained and their conformity to the requirements of the European standard for biodiesel fuel are discussed.

Antioxidants of natural origin which are based on agroprocessing waste appear as substance with high performance properties. They have complicated structure and contain a complex of biologically active compounds. This is why research of the above is particularly relevant in current competitive market. When working with plant raw materials and isolation of valuable compounds, the urgent issue is the choice of the method (extraction method) and extractant, which will ensure a maximum release of chemically active compounds. Known solvents such as methanol, ethanol, hexane, diethyl ether, and mixtures thereof are usually used for recovery. The purpose of this research was to study the effect of selected nonpolar solvents on the phytochemical composition and the antioxidant capacity of Prunus armeniaca L. Extracts were obtained using ethanol, silicone, propan-2-ol, and mixtures of ethanol silicone and propan-2-ol with silicone. In the obtained extracts, identification of the sequestered chemically active compounds was carried out by means of chromatography, mass spectrometry, and IR and UV spectrometry, and the extracts were evaluated on antioxidant properties. Various extracts showed varying degrees of antioxidant activity in various test systems, depending on the concentration. Since various antioxidant compounds have different mechanisms of action, several methods have been used to evaluate the effectiveness of antioxidant extracts. The results showed that the test solvents play an important role in the extraction of the plant material into the component composition, as well as the antioxidant ability of Prunus armeniaca L.

2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) is commonly used in the synthesis of polyacrylamide which is widely used as surface-active agents, water treatment chemicals and oil-displacing agents. In the production process of AMPS, there are some byproducts. In this paper, the residue from AMPS production is analyzed. The main byproducts in the residue are ascertained by means of HPLC and ESI-MS, which are butylacrylamide (TBAA) and acrylamide. By external standard method, the residue is analyzed quantitatively. Using the residue as raw materials, a kind of polyacrylamide with low molecular weight is synthesized, which can be used as paper reinforcing agent or emulsifier. After the residue is purified, the high molecular weight polyacrylamide is synthesized, which can be used as flocculating agent or oil-displacing agent.

The work is devoted to the study of pectin extracts ultrafiltration  using different types of membranes. Pectic extracts are the solutions of high molecular weight polysaccharides (MM from 15 to 50 kDa), which are destroyed in the process of heat treatment in the vacuum evaporating apparature, that leads to a significant deterioration in the quality of pectin. The impurity components in the pectin extract of a low molecular weight, which makes it possible to use ultrafiltration for both concentration and purification from ballast substances, that  is very important. The objects of research were pectin extracts obtained from citrus raw materials; the membranes of the type UAM-100 and 200A were used as filter membranes. The results of the study have been shown, that the use of UAM-100 membranes in a stationary cell allows to remove up to 20% of the solution within 20 minutes, and with - stirring up to 27%. The use of membranes with large openings (up to 200 A) makes it possible to activate the process of the separation and concentration of pectin extracts: the degree of concentration reaches up 45%, the content of solids in the concentrate increases up to 7.6%, and the content of pectin to up 6.4%, that is in 1,7 times. However, the loss of low molecular weight pectin in the filtrate is about 4%. A comparative analysis of the results of research has shown a high productivity with the use of the capron membrane 200A, as well as on the qualitative parameters of the pectins, released from the concentrates, the higher parameters for the uroconid component, molecular weight, pectin jelly strength and complexing ability were noted for pectins isolated using the UAM- 100 membrane.
